Nose puercing infection.
I had my nose pierced in January.
About a month back my stud got pulled resulting in infection.
I have removed my stud and used a neem stick instead to avoid closure
However the infection is not healing.
It is not a keloid, sometimes has pus and is very soft, almost like a blood filed pimple
It was responding nicely to warm.compress and got oil with turmeric but I guess I put extra hot compress and the around the piercing blistered. The one that you get out if hot liquids.
It's very small though
However i do not want my piercing to close.
Please help.
